LSU Baseball Transfer Portal Tracker: Keeping up with the incoming and outgoing players

Here’s how roster turnover is shaping up for the Tigers this offseason.

It is officially silly season in college baseball as the transfer portal seems to obtain more talent every day. So far, LSU has had nine players enter the transfer portal.

Full disclosure, although these players have entered the portal, they can still return to Baton Rouge. This is their way of testing the waters and seeing what kind of interest they can garner from other schools. We’re going to take a look at the players the Tigers have in the portal so far and the players LSU has landed so far as well.

This post will be updated as news breaks every day, so come back to see if  any new names have entered the portal.

Southern Miss sends the Tigers packing in Game 7 of the Hattiesburg Regional

The Tigers’ season came to an end in the regional final on Monday evening.

Two of the best words in all of sports: Game 7.

It was do-or-die for LSU and Southern Miss as they squared off for the third time this weekend at the Hattiesburg Regional. Despite winning their first two games of the postseason, the Tigers couldn’t close things out and saw their season end in an 8-7 shootout.

[autotag]Ma’Khail Hillard[/autotag] got the start on the mound in the big game. Southen Miss got on the board early as the first batter of the game hit a solo shot to make it 1-0 Golden Eagles. LSU answered back with a big first inning of their own as the Tigers plated three runs thanks to a two-RBI single from [autotag]Tre Morgan[/autotag] and a bunt single for an RBI by [autotag]Jordan Thompson[/autotag] to make it 3-1 Tigers after one.

In the bottom of the third inning, [autotag]Cade Doughty[/autotag] made his presence felt as he hit a solo shot of his own to make it 4-1 LSU.

In the top of the fourth inning, [autotag]Paul Gervase[/autotag], the Tigers’ closer, came in to try and eat up some innings and retain the LSU lead. Southern Miss proceeded to score two runs and cut the lead to 4-3.

In the bottom of the sixth inning, LSU loaded the bases with two outs but they were unable to score any runs as [autotag]Drew Bianco[/autotag] struck out to end the inning. In the top of the seventh, Southern Miss loaded the bases on [autotag]Devin Fontenot[/autotag] and scored on a sacrifice fly to center field to tie the game at 4-4.

That brought [autotag]Bryce Collins[/autotag] out of the bullpen for LSU and the first hitter he faced ripped a single to left field to score the go-ahead run as the Golden Eagles took a 5-4 lead. After a four-pitch walk to load the bases, [autotag]Trent Vietmeier[/autotag] was brought out of the bullpen to try and get LSU out of the jam only down by one run.

The first batter Vietmeier faced hit a two-RBI single to right field to make it 7-4 Golden Eagles before the Tigers finally got out of the inning. In the bottom of the seventh inning with two outs, Berry walked, Doughty doubled, and [autotag]Tre Morgan[/autotag] hit an RBI single to cut the lead to 7-5. Thompson then grounded one up the middle to make it a one-run game.

Still two outs, runners on first and second for [autotag]Tyler McManus[/autotag]. McManus struck out, but the Tigers were able to score two runs and cut it to a one-run game as we headed to the eighth inning.

In the top of the eighth inning, [autotag]Eric Reyzelman[/autotag] entered the game looking to help the Tigers keep the momentum going from the bottom of the seventh. He did his job as he retired the Golden Eagles 1-2-3 and kept the momentum rolling for the Tigers.

Dugas, Bianco, and Pearson were due up for LSU. On a 3-1 count, Gavin Dugas hit a solo home run to tie the game at seven. With two outs, Crews drew a walk to put him on first base as Berry stepped into the box.

That elicited a pitching change from Southern Miss. Berry grounded out, and we went to the ninth inning tied 7-7. In the top of the ninth, Southern Miss scored a run on a sacrifice fly to take an 8-7 lead as we headed to the bottom of the ninth.

This was it, do-or-die. How would the Tigers respond?

Doughty, Morgan, and Thompson were due up for LSU. Doughty grounded out to third for out No. 1. Morgan grounded out to second, and Thompson struck out as the Tigers fell 8-7. With that, the season is over for LSU. Southern Miss will advance to the super regional as a host and will play Ole Miss.

Tigers make a Hasty exit in 2022 SEC Tournament with elimination game loss to Kentucky

LSU’s run in Hoover came to an end on Saturday afternoon.

The Tigers had a quick turnaround after Friday night’s loss to Tennessee.

[autotag]Jacob Hasty[/autotag] got the start against the Kentucky Wildcats in a win-or-go-home scenario in the SEC Tournament, and they sent the Tigers packing in a 7-2 loss.

Kentucky also sent Hasty packing with a final line of 0.1 innings pitched, allowing two runs on two hits and three walks. [autotag]Eric Reyzelman[/autotag] came in to get the Tigers out of the inning and he did just that. In the bottom of the second, Kentucky hit a solo homer off Reyzelman to increase their lead to 3-0.

The Wildcats scored two runs each in the fourth and fifth inning to make it 7-0 Kentucky headed to the top of the seventh inning, and the LSU offense didn’t have a hit yet. The Tigers finally got on the board in the seventh as Tre Morgan reached on an error and then [autotag]Tyler McManus[/autotag] brought him home on an RBI triple.

[autotag]Gavin Dugas[/autotag] then hit a sacrifice fly to center to score McManus and cut the lead to 7-2 Wildcats. LSU was unable to score any more runs in the game as it was knocked out of the tournament.

Now, we will wait until the selection show Monday morning at 11 a.m. CT on ESPN2 to see whether LSU will host a regional in Baton Rouge or have to travel for their regional.

Tigers ‘Crews’ to a win over Vandy in final SEC series

LSU captured its final SEC series and potentially a top-five seed at the conference tournament in Hoover.

LSU might not wear anything other than their gold uniform for the rest of the season. After a huge win on Thursday night, the Tigers went back to the gold for Friday night’s contest, and the Tigers had another great game at the ballpark with a 6-1 win over Vanderbilt to take the series.

[autotag]Ty Floyd[/autotag] got the start on the mound and in his first start in months, he looked great. Floyd finished with 5.1 innings pitched allowing one run on four hits and seven strikeouts.

[autotag]Dylan Crews[/autotag] started it off strong in the top of the first inning when he swung at the first pitch and blasted it over the left-field wall to make it 1-0 Tigers.

LSU then had a monster second inning to give them some breathing room. [autotag]Cade Doughty[/autotag] scored on a passed ball for the first run of the second inning, [autotag]Tyler McManus[/autotag] grounded out but [autotag]Jordan Thompson[/autotag] scored to make it 3-0, and then Crews came up and hit another Crews missile, this time a two-run shot over the green monster in left field to make it 5-0 Tigers.

The Commodores got on the board in the bottom of the second inning with a solo homer to cut the lead to 5-1. In the top of the fourth inning, [autotag]Josh Pearson[/autotag] beat the throw on what would’ve been an inning-ending double play and allowed McManus to score and make it 6-1.

In the top of the seventh inning, the Tiger bats were back at it again as Doughty hit an RBI double to score [autotag]Tre Morgan[/autotag], and Thompson brought Doughty home on an RBI single to make it 8-1 LSU.

[autotag]Jacob Hasty[/autotag] came in to relieve Floyd in the fifth inning and in the bottom of the ninth inning, he gave up a two-run homer down the right-field line to cut the lead to 8-3 with no outs.

[autotag]Paul Gervase[/autotag] then came in to try and close the game. He retired the batters he faced, and the Tigers won 8-3. LSU clinched the series win over the Commodores and possibly locked up the No. 5 seed for the SEC Tournament next week. Game 3 will be on Saturday at 1 p.m. CT.

Fantastic Game 3 showing leads LSU to series win at Alabama

The Tigers captured their fourth win in their last five SEC series on Sunday.

After losing two out of their first three SEC series, the Tigers entered Sunday’s game in search of their fourth series win out of the last five as well as their third in a row.

They did just that in a 12-3 victory over Alabama in Game 3. [autotag]Samuel Dutton[/autotag] got the start on the mound for LSU and like [autotag]Blake Money[/autotag] on Saturday night, he was pulled in the first inning of the ballgame.

He did record two outs on two hits and one run before being pulled for [autotag]Jacob Hasty[/autotag]. In the top of the first inning, LSU got out to a hot start as it scored three runs off of a two-RBI single by [autotag]Jordan Thompson[/autotag] and an RBI single by [autotag]Drew Bianco[/autotag] to make it 3-0 headed to the bottom of the first. ‘Bama scored a run against Dutton in the bottom of the first to cut the deficit to two.

That score remained until the top of the fifth inning when LSU doubled its score with a Bianco RBI single and a two-run homer by [autotag]Tyler McManus[/autotag] to make it 6-1 headed to the bottom of the fifth. In the bottom of the fifth, [autotag]Eric Reyzelman[/autotag] came into pitch for Hasty.

Hasty’s final line was four innings pitched allowing two hits, zero runs, and four strikeouts. In the top of the seventh, LSU tacked on three more runs to extend the lead to 9-1. [autotag]Tre Morgan[/autotag] reached on a fielder’s choice and Thompson scored. That was followed by another two-run McManus homer.

In the bottom of the seventh inning, Alabama scored off of a solo home run to cut the lead to 9-2. In the top of the eighth inning, (stop me if you’ve read this before) but the Tigers scored three runs for the third time today. [autotag]Gavin Dugas[/autotag] (glad to have you back, pal) doubled to start the inning, [autotag]Josh Pearson[/autotag] walked, and we got a Crews Missile to make it 12-2. That’s Dylan Crews’ third homer in the past two games.

[autotag]Riley Cooper[/autotag] came in to pitch the eighth and the ninth innings to try to close out the game. The first batter for the Tide in the ninth hit a solo homer to cut the lead to 12-3. That prompted [autotag]Devin Fontenot[/autotag] to come trotting in out of the bullpen. Fontenot was able to get out of the inning while allowing no more runs. With the win, LSU moves to 32-15 (14-10 SEC). The next game will be May 10 against Southeastern Louisiana at Alex Box Stadium with the first pitch scheduled for 6:30 p.m. CT.

LSU takes Game 1 against the Tide in Tuscaloosa

The Tigers held on to take a 6-5 win in a thrilling Game 1 against Alabama.

The LSU Tigers made a trip to Tuscaloosa, Alabama, for a weekend series against the Alabama Crimson Tide looking to keep their momentum going in SEC play. The two teams traded the lead several times, but LSU ultimately pulled out a 6-5 c win to take Game 1.

[autotag]Ma’Khail Hilliard[/autotag] got the start on the mound and didn’t have his best start, as he pitched four innings, giving up five runs on four strikeouts and no walks. ‘Bama scored on a passed ball in the bottom of the first and then on an RBI double in the bottom of the third to take a 2-0 lead that lasted until the top of the fifth inning.

In that frame, the Tiger bats came to life. They scored five runs in the inning, starting with a [autotag]Tyler McManus[/autotag] solo homer to cut the lead in half. [autotag]Jacob Berry[/autotag] followed with an RBI single, [autotag]Cade Doughty[/autotag] then hit an RBI double and [autotag]Tre Morgan[/autotag] hit a two-run homer to make it 5-2 LSU headed to the bottom of the fifth.

But Alabama scored three runs to even the score at 5-5 headed to the sixth. In the top of the sixth, [autotag]Dylan Crews[/autotag] hit an RBI single to put the Tigers back in the lead 6-5.

That RBI was the last run anyone would score in the ballgame as [autotag]Riley Cooper[/autotag], [autotag]Eric Reyzelman[/autotag], [autotag]Jacob Hasty[/autotag], and [autotag]Paul Gervase[/autotag] came in and pitched five scoreless innings out of the bullpen to secure a 6-5 victory.

Cooper (4-2) was credited with the win and Gervase (5) was credited with the save. Morgan led the way at the plate, going 3 for 5 with two RBI on a home run. Game 2 will be on Friday night at 7:30 p.m. CT.

Cade Doughty walks it off for LSU in series-clinching Game 2 win over Missouri

Doughty’s RBI single in the bottom of the ninth was LSU’s second walk-off of the season.

Blake Money and the LSU Tigers were looking to get back over .500 in conference play tonight against Missouri and they did just that in Friday night’s 4-3 win.

With the game knotted up at three runs apiece after nine, it went to extra innings. However, [autotag]Cade Doughty[/autotag] called game in the bottom of the 10th with a walk-off base hit to secure the win.

The Tigers took Game 2 with their second walk-off of the season and secured a win in the series. They’ll look for a sweep in Sunday’s finale.

LSU got the scoring started with a Crews Missile from [autotag]Dylan Crews[/autotag] in the bottom of the first inning to take an early lead.

In the top of the third inning, Missouri scored two runs against [autotag]Blake Money[/autotag] to take a 2-1 lead and send Money to the showers after his shortest outing of the season.

Money pitched 2.2 innings and gave up four hits and two runs with three strikeouts. [autotag]Jacob Hasty[/autotag] came in to relieve him and he kept Missouri from scoring any more runs in that inning.

In the bottom of the fourth inning, [autotag]Brayden Jobert[/autotag] got back to his hitting ways as he hit a solo home run to tie the ballgame at 2-2.

In the bottom of the sixth inning, [autotag]Tyler McManus[/autotag] hit a ball to New Orleans and gave LSU a 3-2 lead. When I say that he got all of that ball, believe me, he did.

In the top of the eighth inning, Missouri hit a solo home run on [autotag]Grant Taylor[/autotag] to tie the game as we headed to the ninth inning. Missouri got a couple of base runners in the top of the ninth, but [autotag]Riley Cooper[/autotag] was able to get LSU out of the inning unscathed.

LSU couldn’t score any runs in the bottom of the ninth inning, so to extras we went. In the bottom of the 10th inning, [autotag]Josh Stevenson[/autotag] led off with a double and advanced to third on a ground ball by Crews.

[autotag]Jacob Berry[/autotag] was intentionally walked to put runners on the corner with only one out. Doughty then came through with a walk-off RBI single to secure the series win. Game 3 at Alex Box Stadium will be on Saturday at 12 p.m. CT.
